I have the GSGs on mine J but they don't stick out as far as those you're showing.

That swing arm slider looks like it must stick out at least a couple inches if not more!
...
I'm thinking this would possibly provide better protection for the rear bags in the event of a tip-over?
It looks like Top Block came out with some new swing arm and fork sliders, I like the looks of them alot better than their prior ones.
I still think your best bet is to add a set of small McE rear bars. They will not only directly protect the bags, but also .............
I didnt see them on the Top Block website......what was the pricing like?
..... add a level of ugly that just should not be added to a sport tourer. The were designed for the police bikes that care primarily for function ..... and disregard form. Just my opinion, others will have theirs, but those bars are just plain out of place on a consumer version C14.
You really think the small rear ones are out-of-place or ugly? I totally agree with you on the front bathroom bars, but the small rear ones don't bother me much at all..... as long as the bags are on. Now, with the bags off, they would look strange and out of place (but I never ride with the bags off).
Ya, those GSC's look to be about the same length as the ProjektD ones I currently have, about 1 inch...
What are your thoughts on these new TB ones C?

With bags off the MCE rears would definately look out of place, the other problem is (as expressed by others on this forum) they will take away foot room for mama... And mama needs her foot room.
I don't know that the rear bars take up any real foot room.
The only problem that I know of for sure is that the stock rear pegs won't fold up with the rear bars installed. If I can't like with that then I'll get some aftermarket pegs that will fold.
They don't? Oh, I think I see what you mean. In my case, I *never* ride with a passenger (nor could I), so I might just remove the rear pegs. Hmm.
Is it strange that the name Tatiana gives me wood?
I thought that was a French company?
What does that have to do with wood?
